| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Nice and big citrus nose. Nice cloudy red color with a real nice, frothy head. Rich and caramelly, lots of doughiness from the pacman, some sugar and a touch of chocolate roast mixes terrifically with the citric nature of the cascades and amarillos. Mild spice in the swallow. This is a top-flight red and probably my favorite rogue. More please! iamqueensblvd (226), , Iowa, USA

JohnnieCanuck (1), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Pours a cloudy dark amber to red colour, somewhat opaque. Citrus and pine in the nose, no malt apparent, maybe sampling a bit cold..Whaps you with big hops and a piney finish, this is a hop-head beer. Medium bodied, huge hops. Tastes like a mouthful of chinooks.. Big hop beer low in malt taste. Recommended to cleanse the palate after a Bud.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 25, 2009 A bit of hops in the aroma, nice orange color. This is definitely one hoppy amber ale. A fruity sweetness, but a lot of hops in the finish, this is typical rogue style, which means good! tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Grapefruit, orange and pine-like spiciness in the nose with strong underlying malt sweetness. Hazy golden tan body is topped by a fluffy white head that lasts well and coats the sides of the glass with lacing. Strong caramel and toasty malt character balances pronounced bitterness with grapefruit, pine and earthy hop flavours. Some fruity esters in the aftertaste. Medium body is quite dry with fairly strong carbonation that prickles the tongue. Becomes more expressive as it warms. Comes across as an Imperial ESB. Easily though perhaps dangerously drinkable. Tulip glass. Just above fridge temperature. Bottle purchased at the Brewery Creek in Mar-09. FishManLA (299), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Pours a brownish amber with a big foamy persistent off-white head. Nose is floral with hints of baking bread or biscuits. Rich flavor with distinct wood/pine notes as well as notes of caramel, chocolate, and coffee. Classic coffee-like American IPA bitter finish.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 11, 2009 Bought this as "Northwestern Ale". Floral nose of pine resin, burnt citrus and spice. Pours a cloudy mahogany. The mostly lasting beige creamy rocky head leaves good lace. Definite british pale overtones here. Nice roasted malt front with no acidity and a long definitive finish. The full body is soft and creamy. Very well done...bravo.
